Fuji Finepix E500 Zoom Review

The Fuji FinePix E500 Zoom compact digital camera has 4.1 Mega-pixel sensor and is the first camera in Fuji’s new E-series range for digital photography. It sports a stylish silver aesthetic body and an easy to use function menu. Find out more.

The E-series range of cameras is designed for the more serious and further advanced user than the A-series range. E-series cameras are virtually the same dimensions as the A-series, but are slightly heavier in comparison. More noticeably, the E500 has an ergonomic grip making it easier to support and handle. Two AA alkaline or NiMH rechargeable batteries power the cameras; consumers can expect best possible battery life with rechargeable batteries, while alkaline batteries provide operational flexibility. The wide variety of flash modes, WB settings and a useful macro-mode add to the already impressive list of E500 features.


A 2.0 inch LCD allows the user to view all the settings easily while framing & composing your images. The ergonomic hand grip and stylish body of the FinePix E500 Zoom has been designed with the photographer who may find smaller cameras more difficult to handle, in mind.

Fujifilm’s optional CP-FXA10 Picture Cradle can be used with the FinePix E510 and E500 for rapid recharging, as well as for fast image downloading. The Fuji Finepix E500 model captures images in 'point and shoot' mode, as well as allowing manual, programmed, shutter priority AE, macro and ultra macro modes, also including several scene modes of landscape, sports, portrait, and night mode, Which we found to be an added bonus! However, on the downside, the E500 will only record movies at 10 frames per second, so you'll need to look to the E550 for something more suitable if this is an important feature to you.

All in all, a fairly impressive product at a more than fair price for the quality and features it comes with. This model isn't the best compact digital we've reviewed, but it would make a decent starter model for beginners. Check out great Ebay prices below.
